Mostpeople picture a person obsessedoraddictedto fashion, a fashion junkie, who practicallylives hislife aroundmaterial things and spends a lot ofmoney on it. However there is anothertype offashion victim. One thatliterallyis. I was readingan articleaboutallthe damage clothescan do to our body, noneis nice andsome can be quiteserioussohere I want to share with you significant problems each garnments can cause in order to prevent turning into a victimof fashion, because that's really SCARY!
Bras
Brasare themoderncorsetsand their functionis to holdand fightagainst the lawsof gravity,
NOTto SQUEEZE!
Because if abra is to tight it can snugthe chestlymph nodesand producecysts.
We mustadd to thisthat if abrasdoes not providetheexact support it may also produceback painand irritation.
Panties
Female briefs should be cotton to let intimate partsbreathe and preventthe appearance offungi that causesinfections.
Very tight manbriefscanlead to infertility because they tend tosqueezethe bodyorgans, causing theseto heat up andnot work properly, that's why loose boxers are the best option.
At last i this category I only want to saythatthongs areNOTHYGIENIC... they makeeverything goeverywhere...avoid them! If you wear them because you do notwant yourunderwearto leave marks or be seen with tight clothes then use complete options like the ones fromMaidenform.
Pants
For men or women very tight jeans can cause very similar problems to carpaltunnel syndromein whichlegs arenumb, tingling, asleepandmay loosesensitivity.
Wear stretchy pants or leggings and specially stretchy jeans!
Tie
Extremelytighttiesmay eventually causeblindness,because when something is pushing thejugularbloodpressurebecomes irregularandin severe casescausescataracts.
Heels
4inchheelsare perfectbecause they prevent from gettingflat feetandbody proportionsremainstable, however higher heelschange the distributionof theentire bodyand can cause spinedeformation, very strongmuscle aches and weakness inlegs. It is simply recommended to wear higher heels sporadically.
One might think thatpeople undergoonlya little discomfortto look good, but ifwe think of thedeformedskulls from the Mesoamerican in the past, the tiny "lotus feet" of Chinese womenandthe giraffe necks oftheAfricanwomen wecan seethat thepursuit of beautyis and has been for thousandsof years aculturallyvery powerfulstimulus thatcancause irreparable damage tohealth. Sobefore using any trends or not very comfy clothes, think about what those can doto yourbody. Usefashionthatsuits youanddo not becomea victimof fashion!
It can be Spooky!
P.S. Happy Halloween guys!

BBB? Yes, Braided Ballerina Bun.
I never saw myself as a high bun person, but since I was very curious I bought one of those foam doughnuts to do one.
For my surprise I quite loved it because it's easy and can be as casual or formal as you want it to be.
You guys liked it a lot on Instagram and people everywhere asked me how to do it sooooooo here it is!
My very first TUTORIAL!
You need...
Here you need to wrap one braidaboveand one belowthe bun.
To coverthe league loose up one of the strapsof
the braid close to the part you need to cover andsecure it over with a bobbypin.
And you are ready to go...!

Hot, Cold and Everything in Between!

Some people face a problema called "the everyday outfit selection", ever heard of it?
Because despite our overflowing closet we tend to have nothing to wear, especially whenwe don't put out thelooka night before and find ourselves on a hurrythe next morning. Now do me a favor and add climate change to the equation. What do you notice? 'Cause I got CHAOS as a result.
The smart thing to do when autumn arrives is to take our coats and boots out to endure chilly weather, but lately we find ourselves in limbo, because no matter if we check the climate report every night, we must wait until next morning to see if the garment choice is appropiate.
Without going any further, last week Mr. Weather App on my iPhone said the day was going to be 26°C, so I wore a beautiful lace blouse from Aéropostale and a sweater.
Half an hour later I was at school cursing to Zeus for that bloody cold winter dawn.
So on tuesday I took my precautions and checked the weather twice. It said we were going to enjoy a cool afternoon. My choice? a shirt, thick cotton sweater, plaid cotton pants and military blazer.
At 2pm, when I was just beginningto feel proud ofmy choice the bipolar sun came out with the purpouse of boiling me incashemere-foil. Ok, it wasn´t that bad... because I made it work... and you need to keep reading to know how.
So yeah, autumn arrives, we renew our closet, flowers stop blooming, leaves start to fall, the sun sets earlier, but is it hot or cold? WHAT ON EARTH SHOULD WE WEAR?
After a lot of analysing the situation 2 things came clear.
1.- Global warming is something we can't fight. Yes, we can slow it down, but don't make it dissapear.
2.- New trends come from needs, reason why we have freedom to try.
If the weather is so weird that we can't stick to one season, who said we can't wear both?
Think about the new combos we've seen in the runways.
The thing is to find the right combination in order to succed. I love wearing layers, that's why the second outfit worked. I just took out the cashemere and it was fresh and perfect.
Try a sweater with a mini skirt as I did here, "wear coat as a dress" as ADR would say.
Use fur or faux fur as you prefer with EVERYTHING: Dresses, skirts, jeans, even leather leggings to create the ultimate glamour combination!
Wear your favourite dress with a shirt underneath and in other look use the shirt with a nice sweater together with a statement jacket, booties and a hat to create a cozy chic outfit that you can peel during the day and still look fabulous!
The options are infinite you just need to play with the seasons!

Human beings always need a change.
Call it developement, evolution, rebellion or whatever you like, but one thing is certain; this doesn't need to be a social change, it might be an inner revolution manifest by something as "little" as a hair cut.
Yes, I have a theory and doubt about the subject.
For most women our hair is a part of who we are and what we project. In my case it means happiness, childhood and growth. Happiness because of those moments when my grandma used to braid my hair while we talked for hours. My classmates use to call me Rapunzel in kindergarten and elementary school because of my sleek and long long hair that use to reach my hipbone.. this reminds me of all the times I played the princess.
Growth might be difficult to explain, but it began when at the age of nine, after my daddy passed away, I decided to chop of my hair from my hips to my chin. This, if I think about it, might have been a silent scream for change or intent of a fresh start.
When I entered secundary school, my spaghetti sleek hair decided it was the time to grow into a curl explosion and everything changed... Lucky for me I developed quite a skill for brading which saved me and still does, from enduring a crazy mane the days I wake up late...
So my hair has been basically a faithful companion during my entire life. And lately, I've had toughts about getting rid of a major part of it. It might be a reflection of everything I've been trough this past year as well as a milestone in my stock.
It would be a more a vanguard look to embrace my new role as fashion blogger, writter and high school student as it would also serveto leavethingsbehind... Like "the boy you never told to like you..." as Selena Gomez would say, pesimistic ideas, insecurities and all those matters that come along with adolescence, which I've been told it's onlya stage in ourexistence and doesn't last much (THANK GOD) Still I don't know what to do...
Would this really be a mental change as much as it is physical?
Will it work?
Am I brave enough or able to leave all those things behind?
Can I endure losing myaccomplice?
Have you ever had an urge for change? What do you think?
Be or not to be.. that's the dilemma.

Studded clutch: Iván Ávalos
My dear friend and designer Iván Ávalos (you know him from EMD13) made my second day at Fashion Week extra special by bringing me a beautiful gift!
It's the perfect clutch to take to a party or wear as a daily statement.
I couldn't be happier and already have in my mind a million ways to wear it!
Thanks love!
His creation at EMD13 and my gift!
Doesn't he have a very cool signature?
He also made a drawing of myself a few weeks ago...
Iván is a very talented guy and believe when I tell you... We should expect great things from him in the future!

You guys know what a great effect the first time I saw a collection by Jesús Ibarra & Bertholdo caused on me.
And since that amazing show, season through season I'm always eager to see what they have prepared for us.
But this time it was different.... It was better.
I entered backstage and could not only see the garnments before and appreciate little details, Jesús Ibarra himself explained me everything about their SS14 collection.
The designer told me that this time they wanted to do something completely different, give the collection a fresh and younger twist a la JI+B, meaning without losing sophistication and elegance.
And for that, they got rid of high buns and heels and gave the models a relaxed look, these wore Adriana Soto sandals and had their natural waves loose.
There was a lot of leather in the collection (something I quite liked!) and we were able to see it everywhere mixing up with embroidery!
Backstage
After my backstage visit it all began....
Tropical lights lit upthe runwayand asthe firstmodelcame out, the musicexploded. Nothingmoreand nothing less thanDubstep that brought outthe change given by the designersthis time.
Apleasant surprise if you ask me, that excited mealmost todance and left my mouth open.
This dress caught my eye the second I saw those green embroidered flowers hanging backstage.
Look at the movement... ♥
This orange dress is another one of my favourites.
The leather bustier is really edgy and at the same time feminine...
FLOWERS in the shoulders.
I need some of those...
You saw this skirt on Instagram ... I just told my companion "This girl is on fire!"
AMAZING! Love Love Love = Want Want Want!
♥
Pink leather
The clashbetweentender andrough
I'm obsessed with mini skirts and volume.
You move and get involved in a ladylike appeal.
CLOSE UP: The fierce jewelry from LFR Designs looked stunning!
Lace&Leather
Soft - Hard
Delicate - Rocker
Contrast for fashion lovers
Not many people can achieve such a fabulous and classy cleavage.
Another one of my favourites.
That dress between boho-chic and gypsy stole my heart and look at this sporty ensamble!
I asked you guys on social media what you thought about varsity jackets and sporty details.
Well, this is a dream come true. The perfect sporty silhouette with lace and lovely materials that make it look cool and effortless chic!
I even have paired it in my mind with my Jeremy Scott x New Era Cap and it looks marvelous
(in my dreams... hihihi)
Grand Finale!
AS you see the collection was DIVINE!
IF I had to reduce it to my favourites (because everything in life come down to those) I would need the green opening dress, the fire skirt, some purple gypsy allure, a bright orange leather bustier, a volume mini skirt and a sporty look for a relaxed day.. a la My Vintage Armoire ;)
